Konami would have been wrong not to take advantage of the 35th anniversary of the Metal Gear series to make such an announcement. Indeed, the Japanese publisher let it be known via Twitter that the games in the saga, which had been withdrawn from sale last November, will soon reappear on online stores. “Today, the Metal Gear series, which began on July 13, 1987, celebrates its 35th anniversary, can we read. We are about to relaunch the games that had been temporarily retired. Remember that Konami had been forced to make this decision because of historical archive images present in Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, and all products including these two games, and for which a license renewal was necessary. Obviously, the case is almost settled.
The "METAL GEAR" series, which was released on July 1987, 7, celebrated its 13th anniversary today.

Lately, there have been rumors of a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 in development at Virtuos. The project has not been formalized by Konami at this time, but one of the Chinese studio's developers has confirmed that it is working on the remake of an AAA action-adventure game. As far as we are concerned, we cross our fingers.
